This morning (after some bad polls were released, and 538's shitty projections) she was down around 60% and he was up around 36%.
The upward movement today is mainly within the past 2 hours, which is the imo is the most objective metric of who won the debate. the fact that it moved so sharply (when on a typical day it barely moves) says that she won 'bigly' and he was a disaster. many people are saying
